Saddle Benchmark
February 5, 2022


Saddle Benchmark, the peak. The wonderful ramp I followed up is in the sun to the right


Looking down at the ramp I just ascended


Now on the higher slopes, it flattens out nicely


That's the top up ahead. Lotsa cholla


This is the highest rock, I believe. Neat shot in which Woolsey Peak is centered


The mesa slopes away heading east


Southwest view, the Yellow Medicine Butte and its pointy neighbor in the back, Cortez Peak too


Slightly different angle, more cholla
